“Matilda” opening on Broadway, “General Hospital” celebrating 50 years on television, “Lyrics & Lyricists Downtown” with Michael John LaChiusa and Audra McDonald, the inaugural L.A. Puppet Fest, and the 11th Annual Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles are some of the things we’re looking forward to this week.

Three actors reportedly barred from walking onto the set of the ABC daytime drama "General Hospital"—casualties in a dispute between the network and digital media producer Prospect Park—may soon return.
